The 'Kenshi Yonezu in A Car Accident' meme originates from the surreal and high-energy music video for 'KICK BACK,' the opening theme song for the Chainsaw Man anime. In a standout moment of the video, the artist Kenshi Yonezu is seen running or standing still before being abruptly and comically struck by a speeding vehicle. The scene's jarring transition and over-the-top physical comedy made it an instant hit on social media, particularly on Twitter and TikTok. It is primarily used as an object-labeling meme to represent a person being blindsided by sudden news, unexpected life events, or a crushing realization just as they were starting to feel confident.
